Getting Started
Become a member of a special group of people who are personally and professionally interested in activities aimed at shaping our future. Whether you are a practitioner, researcher, organizer or sponsor of Foresight, you will find this course contributing towards your career and personal development, and your understanding of how present actions can be linked to future prospects. Building on over twenty years of Foresight experience, we are able to call upon a wealth of expertise, from staff with know-how of the practice of Foresight, as well as from promoters and users. The course now runs in partnership with VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, a leading global research and technology development organisation, which makes the programme richer as we can offer a wider range of examples about the use of Foresight by multiple types of stakeholders, including business, government, civil society and research/education actors from around the world. The course builds on a set of interactive lectures reinforced with practical work in groups. During the week, you will design a Foresight exercise with a group of participants, supported by facilitators. This will enable you to bring together different elements covered in the course and apply them to a real life case. Get ready to learn the concepts and practice of Foresight.
